One of my favorite things to do during the winter months is a puzzle. Whether you’re alone or with family, it’s a great non-competitive (depending on who you’re puzzling with) activity everyone can get behind. To up your puzzle collection and challenge your brain, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite jigsaw puzzles that are in stock, now.
Jiggy Puzzles makes some of the coolest puzzles out there, and they are all made by female artists, too. This 450-piece puzzle features a lovely snow scene, and it even comes with puzzle glue so you can frame it once you’re done.
When I asked the Daily Beast staff what their favorite puzzles were, Ravensburger was number one by a long shot. Their Softclick technology means pieces fit together perfectly, so you’re never left wondering, does this piece go here, or here?
New Yorker cover puzzles are my all time favorite. This one is what I happen to be currently working on. One word of wisdom: the lettering at the top is always harder than you think it’s going to be.
This is the most beautiful, artistic puzzle I’ve seen. Included is a poster for reference (to make life easier, but not that much easier). This is the kind of puzzle you’ll want to frame when you’re done with it.
This puzzle not only looks cool, it’s super challenging, too. Each geode has funky shaped pieces, and since they are made of plywood, they aren’t as fragile as a normal puzzle.
I, personally, just purchased this puzzle while writing this article. It comes with the Ravensburger easy-click technology that I mentioned earlier so no glue is required, but it’s also three-dimensional and has LED lights so it can light up.
I was unaware that a two-sided puzzle was a thing. And as fun as it sounds, it also makes me recoil in fear. I’ve heard this puzzle is hard, but not too hard, though. If you’re looking for a doable challenge, and more bang for your buck, this one’s for you.
This is where I draw the line. Just thinking about it gives me a headache. But if you’re a real puzzler, you’ll be up for the challenge. The pieces are pretty much the same color, so you’re just relying on knowing where to place those pieces.
This puzzle has 500 pieces but feels like 4,000. Why? It has the same artwork on both sides, so not only do you have to figure out which piece goes where in this barrage of penguins, you have to determine what side of the piece to use. Enter at your own risk.
Did you know Brooklinen, maker of the best bedsheets, also sells a puzzle? Made by London Based Artist Tess Smith-Roberts, this 500-piece puzzle displays a fun, lively party, all happening indoors. It’s perfect for a lazy day, with a hot cup of coffee by your side.
This 1000-piece puzzle is one of the best quality puzzles I’ve ever put together. Each piece is made of thick stock and art paper to create a beautiful finished product. The blue background makes this one exceedingly tricky, but the little trinkets might help you find your way to the end.
